Updated Wookie plugin for Elgg

[Bernhard Hoisl <be...@wu.ac.at>]

Hi,

this is just to inform you that I managed to update the Wookie plugin 
for Elgg. The new version 2.2 can be downloaded here: 
http://community.elgg.org/pg/plugins/hoisl/read/385029/wookie-widgets.

I have updated the link on incubator, but can someone update it on 
getwookie.org, as well?

Changelog:

* URL to Wookie engine and requested API key can be set through the tool 
administration menu - no need to edit files anymore

* Rudimentary OpenID support is available (in combination with the 
OpenID client plugin) - the OpenID identifier gets passed to a Wookie 
widget via the URL parameter 'openid_identifier' (but: the widget has to 
handle OpenID authentication by itself)

* Uncoupling widgets from the dashboard and enlarging them (even to 
fullscreen) is possible through the integration of Highslide JS 
(www.highslide.com). When hovering the mouse over a widget, a small icon 
appears in the top left corner. Clicking on it uncouples the widget from 
the dashboard and displays it in an overlay window. This can be done 
with an unlimited number of widgets. The uncoupled widget is resizable 
and draggable. Navigation between widgets in a dashboard can be done 
through the next and previous arrows or by using left and right keys.

* Some minor bugfixes.

Have you looked at: http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/WOOKIE/Wookie+OpenID+support
